I think the "Challenge" projects are a good way for us to try different types of emb. designs. I didn't do the "candle challenge", wish I had. I may give it a try anyway.

Mardi Gras sounds like fun! All the masks, beads, and floats would be great fun. Charla

Here is a list of notable dates for the UK

St David's Day (1st March patron saint of wales)
Shrove Tuesday (8th March)
Ash Wednesday (9th March)
St Patrick's Day (17th March)
First Day of Spring. (22nd March)Hip Hip Hooray!!
British Summer Time Begins (27th March)(HIP HIP HIP HOORAY!!)

Followed closely in April by

Mothers Day (3rd April)

These challenges sound great and lots of fun, are these just something that has to be digitized or just a special project made with other designs?

it is a god idea, I would like the celabration of spring for the 21th march, it is universal

I'm thinking SPRING too, I'm ready for it even though it's not here yet!
